For those now interested in the amplification of what I just said and in ordering The Book from The Golfing Machine, LLC http://thegolfingmachine.com/theBook/index.php, tell'em "Yoda sent me". No discount, of course, just my own continued personal satisfaction.

As far as Tom Tomasello's approach goes:

[Apologies in advance to Senators Lloyd Bentsen and Dan Quayle.



I served with Tom Tomasello.

I knew Tom Tomasello.

Tom Tomasello was a friend of mine.

And any disciple (however devoted) -- I'm not referring to you, Jeff -- who attributes to Tom an uncocking right elbow from the Top . . . is no Tom Tomasello.
